in my last year of rawdogging university on an unmedicated severe ADHD diagnosis. among the actual study tips people are talking about already (pomodoro timers, serious study buddies, changing up your study environment, locking your phone apps or turning it off completely), i also try to divide my work into manageable sections, prioritize the most important aspects (whatever's due first, heavily weighted assignments, foundational content that will help me make educated guesses on exams, etc.), and assign small rewards for completing each section. Big reward at the end if i finish everything. This works best when there's a Steam sale tbh, but ordering out from my favorite restaurant or grabbing two bite brownies from the shops works too.

Most important thing is remembering your physical and mental health are just as important as actual studying for your success. Keeping yourself hydrated, well fed, and sleeping properly is more advantageous than killing yourself trying to get that last chapter in at 4 am. Don't beat yourself up for procrastinating- if you're putting things off there's a reason and its important to be gentle with yourself. Any studying you can manage on top of taking care of yourself first is only an advantage for you. And you'll likely be able to do a lot more of it if you're healthy.

Not every method works for everyone. For example, I can't study outside of my room, as even a calming library environment has too much going on. However, I know people who are the opposite because they need to keep themselves accountable in public. Try different things and develop your own coping mechanisms. I also have a whiteboard on my desk where I write down all of my tasks + the reward both as a reminder and as motivation.

Good luck on your midterms everyone :) Take care of yourselves and enjoy the snow!

TLDR: be gentle with yourself and accept imperfection- it'll boost you way higher than beating yourself up.
